When you want to discover the nagualism of Carlos Castaneda<\/a>, the first book to read is A Separate Reality<\/em>. On the path that leads from the seeker of light to the man of knowledge, seeing<\/em> is the first accomplishment, but not the first trial. Experience these stages from within, as I have experienced them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n\u00a0See, Look<\/h4>\n

In the system of knowledge of Juan Matus<\/a> and Castaneda<\/a>, “see<\/em>” and “look<\/em>” express two distinct ways of perceiving. Looking concerns the ordinary way of perceiving the world, while seeing evokes a complex process by which the man of knowledge perceives the essence of beings and things.<\/p>\n

We cannot evoke the sorcerers’ view without addressing many challenges that the warrior of light encounters on his path of awakening. Seeing cannot be obtained without accepting what makes it possible: humility<\/a> must overcome the arrogance of the ignorant and the sufficiency of modern man. It is the only really effective protection against the dominant ego<\/a> and its derivatives that are selfishness, egotism, egocentricity, etc.<\/p>\n

Knowledge begins with self-knowledge. To achieve seeing, one must first see oneself. And to see yourself as you are, a mirror is not enough. Humility is the right mirror. The mirror of the soul. Thus can be accomplished as a sacred act.<\/p>\n

A Sacred Act<\/h4>\n

The darkness of the day is the best time to see. (source)<\/a>Carlos Castaneda, A Separate Reality<\/span><\/em> See<\/em>, when the third eye pierces the appearances. Comes the vision of auras, and not the “gift of double sight” that allows Madame Irma<\/em><\/a> to predict your future. In the best case, Ms Irma perceives visions by flash that come to her without warning. And when the flash stays off, Ms Irma improvises according to the unwritten rules of street psychology. And it works!\u00a0 Ms. Irma cannot see<\/em>. If she saw, she would not do what she does. Seeing<\/em> is a sacred act.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We must not reveal anything to the consultant about his future, it is an unforgivable crime. Ms. Irma does it all the time… Because seeing is not a gift, but the result of working on oneself, which is always long and painful.\u00a0 While methods once existed to electrically accelerate<\/a> these processes, these extreme techniques are no longer used by the New Seers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are trained in the hard way, in the school of fear, to overcome the visceral fear of the unknown, to acquire the fluidity and inner rapidity that only allow to assemble other worlds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.<\/p>
